I guess all you have to do is scape off the fungus that ate the listeria -- yuk. Hope
we're both around next year, Shibadiva.

City law firm starts new listeriosis suit

"I think some of the firms involved were also involved in the tainted pet food (lawsuit)," he explained. "I think that process was a year and a half. So we're hopeful it won't be an overly lengthy process."

The reason I bumped this thread up is not to advertise for Canadian law firms. The good news is look at the timeline here:
Recall by manufacturer: August 2008
Lawsuits: August and September 2008

What has changed as a result of the pet food recalls of 2007 is there is now a flock, a gaggle, a very large group of lawyers
armed, trained, and waiting for the next food industry mistake, and willing to sue on behalf of consumers. Not exactly
the news we were all hoping for, true reform of the food industry, but what seems to have happened.

Enough lawsuits by enough consumers, and maybe some of the things so dearly wished for in terms of food safety can happen,
but it's a long legal precedent war.

Being the cynic that I am always wonder is anyone purposely putting this stuff on foods in order to push for the other nasties they want to spray/induce/rub on or use other means so we'll be safe? I belive on the Mike Adams health site he had an article that stated there are only 2,600 cases of listeria in a year across the whole country. So this rush to put a fungus on the deli foods just amazes me. With only 2,600 cases out of 300 million plus people?? I know its bad if anyone falls ill from the foods but no need to introduce something no one knows what it may do to you once its inside of you IMO.

shibadiva was not stating this place did this but seems kinda strange all of a sudden its showing  up more and more lately. Does kinda make one wonder and think, what if?? Just my take on it though.

Could have been the case here that staff weren't cleaning the machines as thoroughly as they needed too, although the onus should be on management to develop and enforce effective processes.

It's not that hard to get raw milk cheese here. Those of us that love it take a chance, I guess, although there are mitigating processes like testing and aging.

Ivanhoe Cheese obviously missed the mark.
